And the crew of the space shuttle Endeavor is waiting on their official go-ahead from mission control to head home. The shuttle is due back on earth on Sunday but nasty weather in the Southeast may delay its return. Endeavore's astronauts have enough supplies to last until Tuesday if the weather doesn't cooperate. During their 16-day mission, Endeavor delivered extra bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms and a new waste recycling system to the International Space Station.
